'Likud MKs Critical of Netanyahu Can Leave Govt.'

The source in Netanyahu's office remarked that "no one is forcing Deputy Ministers Danon, Hotovely, Elkin and Akunis to stay in their posts, they can leave them any time they want," reports Voice of Israel public radio.

According to the same source, Economics Minister Naftali Bennett, who was slammed for similarly criticizing the proposal, also has the "alternative to leave the government." The source opined Bennett would not do so now, stating he hasn't accomplished any achievements in office yet.
